(Neo-Progressive) Ywis - s/t (1983 - CD1993), FLAC (image+.cue+artwork), lossless

Formed in 1982, YWIS was the creation of Julian Driessen (keyboards). The roots of this group go all the way back to 1975, but line-up changes and various other reasons saw the name change throughout the years. 1982 saw a new line-up, and thus a new name for this band project, which besides Driessen consisted of Geert van de Burg (vocals), Herman Ruijters (drums), Eric Stap (bass) and Rinus Hollenberg (guitars, backing vocals).

Their debut album, heavily influenced by Canadian bands SAGA and RUSH, was released in 1983. The album sold quite well, and several concerts in Holland and Czechoslovakia. The band folded in 1985 due to musical differences, following a tour in Bulgaria.

Most of the band members were in close contact the following years though, and when SI Music wanted to re-release their debut album in 1993, they organized a reunion as well - resulting in the reformation of YWIS, who first remastered their debut album prior to it's re-release and then started writing and recording a new album. This time around Driessen wasn't able to participate due to other engagements, and Rene van Spanje was added to the line-up to handle keyboards.

Sophomore album "Leonardo's Dream" saw the light of day in 1995, unfortunately without any promotion by the band. A release party and gig had been in the planning, but what is described as a "private disaster" resulted in these plans being scrapped, and YWIS disbanded shortly after.

WHY IS THIS BAND LISTED AT PROGARCHIVES:
With SAGA as their main influence, YWIS produced two albums of distinctly Neo Progressive rock, and due to that their inclusion was approved by the Neo Progressive team.
